Childcare Worker Charged With 20+ Sex Crimes | Grand Rapids News

A Michigan childcare worker, 20-year-old Austin Hapner, now faces over 20 charges after allegedly abusing children at two daycare centers. Identified through a tip from Norwegian authorities linked to an online chatroom group called “Daycare Dungeon,” Hapner admitted to criminal sexual conduct with more than 20 kids and even described himself as a “pedo” teacher. Prosecutors added nine new counts of child abuse and one count of sodomy involving an animal during his probable cause hearing. Authorities found video evidence of him assaulting a young boy, and he reportedly deleted abusive content only to return to it repeatedly. A second court date is set for September 22nd.
